If you got mostly As…

Yes! You should give a book. You are surrounded by bookworms who will love you for supplying them with more great reading material. Gift them with a box set of your favorite series (Outlander, anyone?) or surprise them with a popular hardcover they could spend years anxiously waiting to buy in paperback, like JK Rowling’s Fantastic Beasts screenplay.

If you got mostly Bs…

Yes! You should give a book. You may have some reluctant readers in your family, but there’s nothing like receiving a book that was personally chosen by someone who knows and loves you to unlock the magic of reading. If you’re looking for a page-turner for someone who wants “a little less conversation and a lot more action,” try The Chemist, by Stephanie Meyer of Twilight fame. Or consider nonfiction that taps into a hobby or passion like Tim Tebow’s Shaken for sports lovers or the annotated Hamilton script for fans who can’t get enough.

If you got mostly Cs…

Yes! You should give a book. The people on your list love volunteering, making art, and tinkering. That means they also love books. They just think they don’t! Remind them there’s more to reading than Shakespeare with titles like The Magnolia Story with HGTV’s beloved Chip and Joanna Gaines and In the Company of Women, which celebrates makers, artists, and entrepreneurs. Pick something that matches up with who they are and what they do, and you’ll be their favorite Santa.

What’s the first thing you do when invited inside a new friend’s house?
